When an automated solution is less accurate, the frequency of manual reviews rises along with associated costs of reacting to false positives and other bad triggers. When the automated solution brings more accurate results, the need for manual reviews drops. The odds of accuracy grow with a balanced, multi-layered approach to automated controls. Related benefits include lower costs by less intervention of fraud professionals and less friction in the buying process that might irritate a good customer. Some data points in this year’s LexisNexis True Cost of Fraud study show the importance of this principle and how to achieve its benefits.Tue, 01 Nov 2016 07:00:00 -0500http://new.accertify.com/en/blog/three-myths-fraud-detection/http://new.accertify.com/en/blog/three-myths-fraud-detection/Coby Montoya, Product ManagerThree Myths of Fraud DetectionAs technology evolves, so does the sophistication of attack methods deployed by fraudsters.Tue, 25 Oct 2016 00:02:00 -0500http://new.accertify.com/en/blog/three-ways-reduce-fraudulent-account-openings/http://new.accertify.com/en/blog/three-ways-reduce-fraudulent-account-openings/Amador Testa, Chief Product Officer3 Ways to Reduce Fraudulent Account OpeningsWith the rise of large-scale data breaches, fraudsters have access to more customer data than ever before.Fri, 01 Jul 2016 00:02:00 -0500http://new.accertify.com/en/blog/challenges-rewards-omnichannel-payments-solution/http://new.accertify.com/en/blog/challenges-rewards-omnichannel-payments-solution/Shane Spears, Director, Global Payment SolutionsThe Challenges and Rewards of an Omni-channel Payments SolutionThe convergence of online and in-store payments into a single solution is well underway.
